Jeju Museum of Art: The April 3 Fine Art Archive: 30 Years in Struggles for Recollection

Take in the island’s cherry blossom

Always a highlight of Jeju’s spring calendar, the Cherry Blossom Festival takes place at the start of April.

While the cherry blossom doesn't last long (especially if it rains), due to the different temperatures found in different parts of the island, there is a fairly long period of time where you can view these flowers.

This year, the main events will be held at Jeonnong-ro in Jeju City and also at the entrance to Jeju National University. There are, also, many other spots throughout the island where you can see the trees in full bloom.

The festival will start on Friday, March 31 and will run until April 9. As the University entrance is at a higher altitude than the city, the trees there usually bloom a little later so perhaps head there if you plan to visit the festival later in the season.
